Male idols continue to compete against one another and challenge female idols like SNSD, KARA and 4minute in the music industry and on variety programmes.

On 31 July, 7pm, 2PM and C.N.Blue will each hold their concert. 2PM and C.N.Blue will be holding their first solo concert since their debut in Seoul Olympic Stadium and AX-Korea respectively. On 18 July, C.N.Blue's leader, Jung Yonghwa, said, "Our concert date clashed with the 2PM-hyungs'. We're currently rehearsing."

Ex-member of 2PM, Jaebeom, and TVXQ's Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejong, who are in the middle of a lawsuit with their management company SM Entertainment, will be holding fanmeetings. Jaebeom will be holding his fanmeeting on 28 August at Hwajeong Tiger Dome located in Seoul Korea University, kick-starting his solo activities. A representative from Sidus HQ said, "Jaebeom said that the reason he chose Sidus HQ as his management company was to be able to develop his acting, and we're now in discussions regarding the contract for his participation is SBS' [Secret Garden]."

Ultimately, only 3 members of TVXQ will be meeting with their fans through the fanmeeting event organized by Lotte Duty Free - their first public stage in Korea. A representative from Lotte Duty Free said, "We are expecting many fans from Japan and other countries to visit Korea in order to meet these 3 members. We are currently in the process of confirming the number of participants and adjusting the schedule."

If Jaebeom participates in SBS' [Secret Garden], set to air in September, he will be meeting Kim Hyunjoong and Micky Yoochun head on in a battle of dramas. Micky Yoochun will play the lead, Lee Seon Joon, for KBS2's new drama [SungKyunKwan Scandal], which is set to air on 30 August. Kim Hyunjoong, who has recently moved over to the same management company is Bae Yongjoon, will once again showcase his acting in a new drama that he has undertaken. Kim Hyunjoong will be starring as the lead in the drama [Mischievous Kiss], set to air on 1 September.

A staff from a drama production company said, "When an idol star participates in a drama, the awareness of the drama is drastically increased and you can also capture the audience who are aged between 10-20 years old. This point in itself, is very advantageous." Also, "When under similar conditions, this is the reason why we use idol members."

A conference to commemorate the filming completion of movie “Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu” was held in Tokyo on July 13rd, the gorgeous actor Mizobata Junpei appeared at the conference.

“Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu” was a summer-theme movie with Yosakoi Festival in Kochi prefecture as its background, depicting the growth of young life, while the movie theme song was sung by popular group TOHOSHINKI.

In addition, it seems that Mizobata-san has a close relationship with TOHOSHINKI member Jejung. “Jejung is a friend of mine, and we frequently go out to drink… (while drinking) we talk about our dreams. As both celebrities and actors, we encourage each other on.”

During MC section, while turning 360 degress spread looks to the audiences, Jejung said, “There are a lot of men~” then he asked “Hey, for men only, please cheer out!”, and while (the male fans) were fewer than women in number, “Waaa!” a bass-sound of cheering sounded. Listening to that, “I think it perfectly suits World Cup (laughs)” saying that, Jejung unintentionally burst into laughter (laughs).

We’re now delivering the issue during the second day Tokyo Dome concert on the 13th. The three members’ singing and dancing was really cool, but during MC section, they smartly switched the atmosphere into a relax one (laughs). Since Jejung and Yuchun has just appeared in TV dramas (Jejung for Fuji TV drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ while Yuchun in mobile BeeTV drama ‘Beautiful Love~Kimi ga Ireba~’), there were many times topic about drama was brought in.

While watching the two members’ drama scenes being aired on the giant screen at the center of the stage, Junsu kept doing ad-lib for Jejung role ‘Doctor’, also when the other two members disclosed funny/interesting episode during Yuchun drama filming, Yuchun turned deep-red in embarassment, yet the fun interaction kept continuing.

Meanwhile Junsu, “Although the two members’ video drama is airing now, but my musical starring ‘Mozart!’ video is not going to air~” he mumbled with a bit sadness (laughs).

● Everytime during Yuchun solo ‘My Girlfriend’, one girl from audiences would be chosen to step on stage to be his girlfriend. On this day, the chosen girl was a 15 year old came from Gunma prefecture named ‘Miki’. When her name was asked, Yuchun immidiately reacted, “Miki-chan? I’m also Micky! So it’s double Micky~” Yuchun showed a happy expression. With Yuchun at her side, the smile on ‘Miki-chan’ face remained stiff from the beginning til the end due to excessive nervousness, but it’s also cute at the same time (laughs)

An exclusive interview with TVXQ Yunho who visited Japan for the “No Limit ~ Heading to The Ground” DVD Release Event!

The hardships and interesting episodes during the drama filming, also talk about future music activities, a must-watch program for all fans. In addition, there’s an interview with co-star Ara, giving just a little bit feel about the shape of premium event was like ♪

Whenever I feel my heart ache, I know that he has already lived through that pain.

Whenever I worry, I know that he's been troubled by the same things.

By the time I see him, his wounds will have been tended to,

and when I cry, he will already have gotten up to stand before me, all by himself.

Perhaps there's nothing left that I can do for you,

but I know, I know that I can wait, I can wait for the best possible ending.

As long as I can see you, I'll be content.

Even if you never learn of my existence, I am not and will never be afraid.

The only thing that could scare me is not knowing you and not seeing you.

As long as I am part of this red ocean, I'll be content.

The people around me tell me that falling in love with Dong Bang Shin Ki is the most unusual thing I've ever done,

but I know, I know that throughout the past four years, nothing has been the result of impulse or mere lust…

For so long, I've feigned indifference… until I met Jaejoong...

He made me realize that I am not the type to let go easily

10 years from now, I think I'll probably still think of you the way I do now.

Jae, I love you, yet I know this is not love.

I want to look on from afar and see that you're good and well, that you're living your life and I'm living mine.

Yet I feel as though you're close to me.

When I'm alone and hurting, you put a smile to my face.

Jae, like every other Cassiopeia out there, all I want is to be close to you, even if it is the wildest of dreams.

Last year, on the 26th of December, I told myself I could never fall in love with another stranger the way I have with you.

I know the day will come, when you'll inevitably leave me, but I hope that all will be well.

You and I, very far on from now, when all else fades, we'll still remember one another, we'll remember those that we loved and those that we so stubbornly held on to.

Thank God for letting me love you, for letting me watch you from a distance and for letting me protect you.

I love you for who you are, when all those around you allow themselves to be treated as empty puppets, you held your own.

It wasn't love at first sight,

in the time I've known you, I've been drawn towards you by your aura, your voice, your tattoos, your birthmark, your back, your smile, your cuteness and even your Vick…

I'm sorry that I've yet to breathe the air around you…

I know I'm not a good person,

because I've got a drug addiction,

I'm addicted to you and I won't let anyone or anything come in between us.

Regardless of the state you're in today, I will pray for you, even if the consequence is my own loneliness…

I was so ready for the sadness that I knew would envelope me, yet there are so many people with me right now that I no longer feel the sorrow

All of that misery had become our motivation to move forward,

I'm not here to make you all cry,

I'm here to tell you all that somewhere in this world, there are people who understand you, people who will sympathize and people who will be with you along the way to make things better.

Jaejoong, your voice is God's gift,

no matter how much you drink, you have a voice as pure as water,

and it's etched the words 'Always Keep the Faith' into my soul.

I've noticed that whenever I'm in pain, the sight of you numbs the grief.

If I'd known I'd love you this way,

I would've fallen in love with you at first sight…

I didn't think these things happened… falling so hard for someone in a split second…

Tell me Jaejoong, how much have you actually slept in the past 6 years?

I need to know that your every smile is out of pure happiness, and not because you have no other choice…

I don't want my every 'for you' to be a burden that weighs you down infinitely,

I could tell you, Jaejoong, that I can survive without you,

but I'd be lying.

If only I could help bear the burden,

you've given us so much joy,

but then you turn around and shoulder all the pain.

This time around, as long as it's your decision, I will support you, no matter what it costs me.

I know it's not easy for you, and that is why I will heal as soon as possible so that I can provide you with strength, so that you can continue to pursue your dream.

When I say "I", I mean 'we', because I cannot do this on my own. He wont' hear it.

I'll keep faith in you;

when you turn around, I won't ask you to come back,

but when you do return, I'll be here waiting…

We truly did walk down this path together…Perhaps it's because I'm still part of it… right now I don't consider this to be a form of sacrificeMaybe one day, when we're able to extricate ourselves, we'll look back and remember that we once loved you more than life itself.

I hope that some day in the future,when someone asks how I feel about you, I'll be able to say that I'm still fiercely in love.

Why do I like you?I don't even know.I think it's the same for most other people… or maybe it's just because you're Kim Jaejoong. And that's all there is.

Message from 'Goong' official website: Hi. This is musical 'Goong' staff team. Second ticket sale for musical 'Goong' will be starting on 20th July (Tuesday) at 9pm. The second ticketing sale only at '인터파크 (InterPark)'. *InterPark customer hotline: 1544-1555

It was really some walk, and I understood the reason why Hideo-san (Jaejoong) got lost when he went to the shop in May. It is in a small street, about 10 minutes walk from the nearby 2 stations, many meters from the nearby big street, Omotesando.

I found that the shop is very small, if there were three Jaejoong size men there, it should be full. Lucky for the fans that could bump into Jaejoong that day, the distance should be within 1 meter. (sighs…never got that near them myself.)

The shop owner explained to me that the following was Jaejoong’s favorite corner.

Since the shelf is knee high and very low, Jaejoong seemed to have lowered himself to the level of the shelf, to look at the accessories.

The shop owner also said that there are many international customers these days. The fans seem to come from all Asian countries and also from US and Canada as well. Have any of you have been there?

The following is my souvenir of the day, pierced earrings, 4200yen (approx USD80) a set.

[I would like to take photos myself if compared to be photographed by the others] After the photo shooting session had ended, Yunho laughed as he said such. Since his hobby is photo shooting, he told us he has two cameras now.

[The memories of Bong Gun, is closely related to my past memories]The chat topics unfold as he said so. Yunho, the leader of TVXQ, the DVD of his debuted drama series immediately rose to the top spot on chart by the moment it was released. This interview was conducted when he came to Japan in conjunction with the releasing of his DVD.

----What do you think of your first challenge in acting?I always want to try it since I never have the chance to try it before. Of course my acting skill is still not so good now, but with my passion I will strive to improve it.

----Do you like drama series and film?Yes, among the actors I like Johnny Depp the most, especially his film 'Edward Scissorhands'. I wish I am able to challenge various characters like him. When I was a high school student, I already had this in my mind, therefore I started to believe at that time, let it be singing or acting, those are performances that can express different feelings to many people. Hence, the things which I have rare opportunity to do it, the things that I did can become part of my experiences, I would like to do them all. This kind of feelings still hasn’t changed till now.

----If you do not have the job like what you are having now, what would you like to do?To be a prosecutor is my ambition since young. That's because of my personality that like to justify between right and wrong.

----What's your feeling during filming?I was still having tight schedule at that time, but I decided to take the role after I read the scripts. The most important is Bong Gun this character. He is me before my debut and me nowadays, and there is usual me in that character too. A person who has nothing but dreams, and advances with just his dreams. Besides that, I am the person who do not shed tears easily, Bong Gun also didn't cry during his development. (lol) The part which he values his family and friends is same like me.

----Please tell us when was the last time you cried?When I was standing on stage in Tokyo Dome, I was truly amazed and touched by the fans (lol)

----Bong Gun is a character with distinct emotions. You really worked hard to act it out. I wanted to display another side of me which is different on stage, and that was my initial target. Now I am so honored with your compliment.

----How do you work hard on your acting skills?No matter what I am still a new actor, so there are still many parts that I lack of. However if compared to the efforts and hard work, there were more happy moments. My perspective towards the others also changed. In order to refine my acting skills, I learned a lot from observing other people's actions. Other than that is working hard. If there is a snack in front, I will start thinking 'What will Bong Gun do?' So I always practice at backstage during a-nation performance. When I am thinking back now, this opportunity in acting had changed my feelings towards my works.

----What do you think of yourself in the future since you gained experience from this drama series?It is still the same as music, I want to challenge different characters more. For me I still do not have acting platform. For example Johnny Depp, he is able to use his own platform to fit into any role. I want to set that as my goal. Bon Gong as the origin point, and will persist forever as the guardian in my heart. So that in the future when I recall the process of interpreting this character, I want to live optimistically as him too.

----Are you a person who does not fear of failure and regret? I do mind. However you can't get positive result if you keep on being pessimistic. I think the beautiful memories can be captured through the lens of camera, so that I have positive mood every time I look at them (the photos) even when I am facing hard times. In the future I hope to move forward without feeling regret.
